About Me

Hello. My name is Rachel Washington and I am a senior at the Fontbonne Early College of Boston. To raise awareness about the foster care system and the individuals involved, I have developed a website and a research paper. In my opinion, there have been insufficient reports and representations of this injustice. My senior year has been dedicated to gathering information and conducting research on this subject for my community. I sympathize with these children because I've watched a lot of videos about people going through the system and things not working out well. Along with serving as a reminder of the support that children receive from the system, I hope the research I present will shine light on the next steps that are necessary for future change. I believe for us to come as a community and help the needs of those in the system, the most important need is love. Also to bring awareness to things that aren't talked about in the system, which is what my action plan does.
